This document sets out our decision on how we will implement new legislative provisions within the Energy Act 2013.
These provisions will ensure that following full commencement of the offshore transmission regime, generator developers can lawfully commission offshore transmission assets prior to transferring these assets to a licensed Offshore Transmission Owner (OFTO).
This also presents our decision on the point in the commissioning process when a completion notice would be issued for Generator build projects and how the new arrangements will be implemented through code and electricity transmission licence modifications. The decisions on code modifications are included as annexes to the main decision document and the decision on electricity transmission licence modification is published alongside this.
We also set out how the implementation arrangements will apply to projects that, at the time these new arrangements come into force, have passed the point at which a completion notice would ordinarily be issued but have not yet transferred to an OFTO.
